# DOT Medical Card: Requirements for Draiver Trips

## It is required for CDL drivers, and for any vehicle Class 3+ (+12ft and 10000 pounds)

CDL drivers and any vehicle Class 3+ (+12ft and 10000 pounds) are required to have a DOT Medical card and log book in their possession during every trip.  
The DOT Medical Card is issued by a medical examiner certified by the FMCSA, not by DRAIVER.

Non-CDL drivers are not required to obtain one, however it is strongly recommended.

Active drivers will receive an email with the link to access their DOT medical card.   
Each driver has a unique link to use.
